Anyone suffering from a sports or occupational injury will find help at hand at Newmarket Leisure Centre as the new Sports Injury Clinic opens this week and offers a free consultation to all new customers during August.
The Sports Injury Clinic (formerly known as Cambridge Health and Fitness Clinic) is run by Lee Petrucci and his primary therapist, Craig Hardingham. Lee also used to be Head of the Medical Team and First Team Therapist for Histon Football Club and was responsible for keeping the players in tip top condition during the campaign that took the Club from Eastern Counties to the top flight of non league football in the Blue Square Division.
Just over two years ago, Lee opened a clinic in Fordham, near Newmarket, and this has become so successful that he approached the Newmarket Leisure Centre to extend his services to the centre’s users.
Tony Bass, chief executive of Anglia Community Leisure, says: “We want to offer a wide range of professional health and fitness services to the local community and that means taking a holistic approach to wellbeing. We are delighted to welcome Lee and Craig to the Centre and we hope it will be a real bonus for our customers to have specialist medical services on hand to help keep them fit and active.”
Lee’s approach to treating injuries focuses on active treatment and rehabilitation, targeting the fundamental causes of musculoskeletal pain. He also offers a specialist digital ultrasound scanning unit which can scan for injuries to muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints and the soft tissues throughout the body and provide clients with real-time images. The Sports Injury Clinic is the only local clinic outside the NHS and private medical facilities to offer this unique service to its patients.
New customers will be offered a free consultation during August, worth £45, to give people the opportunity to try out the new services with no financial risk or commitment. The Clinic will also be offering digital ultrasound scanning to all Active For Life members at a hugely competitive and affordable price of £65.
